GME Leaders Exchange | Madrid

Fragomen is a strategic partner for the Global Mobility Executive Leaders Exchange in Madrid on November 19, 2026. The GME Leaders Exchange series brings together senior Global Mobility and HR leaders for candid peer-to-peer discussions, knowledge sharing and practical insights on the issues impacting international talent strategies. 

Fragomen’s Senior Manager Nayra Prado Marrero and Manager Victoria Gonzalez will participate as key contributors at this invitation-only event, which offers Global Mobility and HR professionals the opportunity to:

• Hear from industry leaders and peers
• Participate in interactive discussion sessions
• Share experiences and benchmark approaches
• Build valuable connections through networking opportunities

Morning discussion topics will include:

• Redesigning the Global Mobility programme: With the rising cost of assignments, organisations are reassessing traditional long-term assignment models and introducing more flexible, cost-effective options, including permanent transfers, short term moves and remote or hybrid cross-border working. How can organisations manage this transition while protecting the talent pipeline, supporting attraction and retention and maintaining equity across the mobile workforce?
• Regulatory uncertainty: Mobility teams are having to monitor a constantly changing regulatory environment across immigration enforcement, tax rules, employment law and remote work regulation. How are organisations staying on top of these changes to minimise risk and ensure and ensure that business-critical moves are not delayed?
• Remote and Cross-border working: How are organisations responding to requests for cross border remote working? What approval processes, risk assessments and policy guardrails are being used and how are organisations balancing compliance, cost, employee experience and business need?
• Spain as a Talent Hub: Spain is increasingly attractive for international talent, including highly qualified professionals and remote workers. What does this mean for Mobility teams managing inbound talent, immigration, tax and employee experience?

Afternoon discussion topics will include:

• Talent deployment and workforce planning: Mobility is increasingly expected to support strategic decisions about where talent is hired, moved, retained or developed, especially where visa dependency or location constraints affect business growth. How are Global Mobility teams responding to these challenges and how are they impacting relationships with key stakeholders? Building the Workforce of the Future – Addressing skills shortages and leveraging talent development and internal mobility to build future capability.
• AI, technology and data in Global Mobility: Many organisations are looking to AI, automation and better data visibility to improve compliance, reduce manual effort and enhance service delivery. Where is technology making the greatest impact today and how can mobility teams adopt digital tools while preserving the human touch and employee experience?
• Cost, housing, quality of life pressures in key Spanish locations: The rising cost of housing, schooling and living in locations such as Madrid and Barcelona is creating new challenges for relocation, assignment planning and employee experience. How are organisations adapting mobility policies and support to reflect local market pressures?
• Short-Term Business Travel: With increasing pressure on Global Mobility to take on responsibility for Business Travel. Where does Business Travel best fit within today's mobility landscape and what are the key considerations for Tax and Immigration compliance.
